Anger Management Therapists in Kemah, TX

I earned a PhD in Marital and Family Therapy with a minor in Psychology in addition to a Master's degrees in behavioral science. Having practiced for 34 years, doing over 51,000 sessions in my career, I have accumulated extensive experience in working with individuals, couples, and families struggling with depression, anxiety, anger and grief, along with the stresses of everyday life. As a certified hypnotherapist and teacher of those skills, I find hypnosis very useful in the treatment of a number of issues including, PTSD, addictions, and anxiety. New research is showing marked improvement in some cases of IBS with hypnotherapy.

Yep, life sure can feel heavy sometimes! Does it seem as though you are in a constant wrestling- match with your feelings, or battling an emotional tug-of-war? Are the daily pressures weighing you down, leaving you discouraged, exhausted or hopeless? Maybe you are fighting to control your racing thoughts & restless energy. Struggling to contain or manage your frustration, disappointment, anger, fear or sadness can feel impossible, even pointless, at times. The stress of it all might even be causing you to disconnect or isolate from those you love in order to shield them from what you are going through.

Humor has long been considered an essential element of healing. I place great value on the coupling of feelings. The deep coexisting alongside the light. Our stories are equally diverse and important, but the therapeutic relationship doesn't have to feel frigid. On the contrary, warmth signals affirmation and perhaps a kind of acceptance we have reasoned to be unattainable. I consider building rapport to be the first step in laying the foundation of our safe space. Every single person, regardless of background, beliefs, persuasions, affiliations, or afflictions, deserves to feel validated and worthy. You are not alone.

Imagine a life you’re happy waking up to each morning. It’s possible! You hold the power and ability to make it a reality. I’m simply here to help you find the answers within yourself. I just provide an opportunity to work through the issues that are bothering you most. I know the thought of seeing a counselor can be intimidating. However, I hope you give yourself the chance to make each day one you enjoy. I have been working with children, adolescents, adults, and families for 17 years using techniques to help change faulty thinking patterns and behaviors.

Have you been looking for a therapist that helps you become your own therapist? If your automatic thought was yes…then you have come to the right place. I offer individual telehealth therapy to adults seeking assistance in their healing process. Beginning therapy can be a very challenging step as it can be incredibly vulnerable to open your world up to a complete stranger. Therefore, I am committed to creating a safe, genuine, and culturally sensitive space for those struggling with life’s hardships. I will collaboratively work with you to identify, explore, and process challenges and to learn healthy ways to manage stressors.

A favorite saying of mine is "CHANGE... It's One of Life's Only Constants..." Change often signifies growth. Changes often move us from our comfort zone and may trigger stressful or distressing thoughts, behaviors, emotions or physiological responses. Our responses are often unconscious. Except we consciously recognize increased discomfort, pain or unproductive functioning in our daily roles and relationships. If you or a family member are experiencing any social, emotional, mental or behavioral difficulties causing distress & preventing enjoying life or realizing your or their full potential in personal, work or school functioning, I invite you to call me.
